    Eine wirklich wunderschöne Tour ohne jeglichen Asphalt(!), die wir bei sommerlichen Temperaturen von 30 Grad unternommen haben. Dank der schattigen Waldabschnitte hat uns die Hitze aber nichts ausgemacht. Die Wanderung ist auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert!

    Ein sehr gut ausgeschilderter Weg, eine Mischung aus Pfaden und Schotterwegen. Leider war der Spielplatz am Forsthaus nicht mehr vorhanden.

    Vom Parkplatz aus geht es zunächst einen schmalen freigeschnittenen Weg entlang, bis man auf einen breiteren Waldweg gelangt. Auf der Hälfte geht man einen breiten Schotterweg für Forstfahrzeuge entlang, bis man wieder auf einen Waldweg gelangt. Eine nette kleine Runtour. Teilweise muss man sich die Wege mit Reiter/innen und Mountainbiker/innen teilen.

    Ja herrlich diese Tour. Wir sind die Runde im Mai gelaufen, allerdings war unser Startpunkt am Gut Stubbe. Der Weg durch den Wald, die Aussicht über die Schlei, die kleinen "Badestellen"... einfach nur toll und sehr empfehlenswert 👍🏻

    WSH ist eine tolle Sache, die mich Dank dir inspiriert hat, eine eigene Tour zu erstellen. Deine werde ich aber auf jeden Fall noch machen, und das ultraleicht Wandern habe ich auch schon verinnerlicht 🙏

    Lovely walk, thank you for posting! Divers. The Schlei was beautiful, I took a dip. Some parts were very overgrown. People were there with bikes; not suitable imo. No benches along the walk.

    Lovely walk,thank you for posting. I loved the woods. The long parts between high hedges were a bit boring to me due to no views. On a hot days the shadows must be welcome though.

    Erster Abschnitt direkt am Ufer entlang spannend und herausfordernd mit tollen Ausblicken • im weiteren Verlauf eher entspannend • durch relativ hohem Schattenanteil lässt sich die Tour auch gut bei sommerlichen Temperaturen meistern

    Traumhaft! Ich habe die Runde stark abgekürzt über den ersten Querweg, weil ich leider nicht viel Zeit hatte. Trotzdem war alles dabei, zauberhafte kleine Sandbuchten und ein wunderschöner mystischer kleiner Wald.
